Sunshine Sour
The Washington Post, March 5, 2008
- Course: Beverage
- Features: Fast
Summary:
Flavored vodka never met a better cocktail, Jason Wilson says. This has a balance of sweet, sour and bitter, with the egg white providing a rich texture and frothy head.
If you don't have Aperol, which is a bright-orange, low-proof Italian aperitif with a zesty, bittersweet orange taste, you can substitute 1/2 ounce of Campari plus 1/2 ounce of simple syrup.
1 serving
Ingredients:
- Ice
- 1 1/2 ounces grapefruit-flavored vodka, such as Finlandia Grapefruit or Absolut Ruby Red
- 3/4 ounce Aperol
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 ounce freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1/2 ounce egg white (about 1/2 an egg white)
- Orange slice, for garnish
- Lemon slice, for garnish
Directions:
Fill an old-fashioned glass with ice.
Fill a mixing glass two-thirds full with ice. Add the vodka, Aperol, citrus juices and egg white. Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds to form a good froth, then strain into the old-fashioned glass. Garnish with the orange and lemon slices.
